Summary
Ken's interest in building engaging, constructivist learning environments, and a desire to find new opportunities for student-centred learning brings him to Royal Roads to work in the Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies. Working in learning design and faculty development, Ken is eager to support applied and authentic learning. He keeps abreast of best practices for technology that enable rich collaboration and constructive environments.
